Agree with this - though it may not be what the kids are wearing these days as Scentsucker asked. But then Scentsucker was asking the ladies and as I'm not one, that's my permission to go offbeam a bit!
The bottle is lovely, and when I got mine it was going cheeeep on evilbay.

+1 for Prada Candy. You could try Coco Mademoiselle - a well respected, widely available scent that's sweet but definitely grownup and worn by adult women. If she likes Hypnotic Poison, how about one of the flankers, eg. Eau Sensuelle? Also worth trying are the current version of Miss Dior, Diesel Loverdose and Angel (if she and you are brave!)

Mauboussin by Mauboussin is lovely and affordable. She does like sweet fragrances but it appears she also has a sense of quality. Mauboussin is fruity but with an oriental orientation, so it would be a change of pace without being too jarring. Cool bottle, too.
